I know it is hard for some people to understand people with psychiatric problems. I have been trying to deal with my step-son who was diagnosed with psychosis, then schizophrenia and frontal lobe seizures and at the beginning, I have to admit I was so confused and unsure what was going on, I was not very understanding. He would get so irate when I confronted him and his psychotic ideas and one time, he rammed his fist through a window and nearly bled to death before I could get him to the e.r./ Another time, he broke a glass table in a burst of anger. After 6 years of caring for him, I have learned what to do but I have another son who is not so understanding and still thinks his brother is playing and just doesn't want to work. It is very stressful to contend with this at times and I try to keep it as peaceful as possible here in the house because I know that is important to my step-son's recovery. But I think that anyone who deals with a person with any kind of "disorder" is under a lot of stress,too and sometimes it just gives way to frustration and not being as kind as we need to be.
